Cat stop using their litter box? Read the top 5 reasons your cat may be avoiding their litter box and how to address the problem with solutions like self-cleaning litter boxes.

Thanks for the info about the litter boxes. Yes, it does matter! The rule is to have one litter box for each cat, plus one extra. So ideally, you should have 11 litter boxes. Anyway, as for a product, I recommend Skout's Honor. I use it when my cats have accidents, and it's amazing. I hope this helps!

If it is available, my best topical flea treatment for cats is Cheristin. It is very effective and kills fleas before they bite, which is helpful for cats with flea allergies since it is the bite they react to. Comfortis is a tablet that is also very effective, but it can cause vomiting.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This depends on the extent of it. However, you can consider doing it with a wet towel or just using a towel after wetting the paws to get rid of it. This should work well. Best of luck!

Cats LOVE to jump up on things and get to higher areas. If you don't already have a "cat tree," I would highly recommend you invest in one if you are truly going to try to keep your cats off your furniture. Give her something she CAN be on; spray with catnip spray or sprinkle with catnip. Most of them include scratching posts as well, which you should have a few of throughout your home to prevent her from scratching your carpet or furniture. [Nature's Miracle Pet Block]() or similar product may curb the jumping. I am not certain its safe to use on wood, though. Another thing you can do to deter cats from jumping up onto surfaces is to place aluminum foil on them, they don't like the noise or feel when they jump onto foil. You can also try [Sticky Paws](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/sticky-paws-on-a-roll-for-cats) which are double sided sticky sheets--they don't like the feel of these either. I hope that helps you! Thanks for asking PetCoach!

I suggest you try some Feliway products. You can even use the spray on your clothes prior to handling or getting near your cat. You can also try some calming treats. https://www.feliway.com/us#redirected https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/comfort-zone-diffuser-with-feliway-for-cats https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/comfort-zone-spray-with-feliway-for-cats https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetri-science-composure-feline-bite-sized-chews Just keep in mind you may never get your cat to "like" you. You cannot force the issue. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
